Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

  • 2 Hatch chile peppers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large russet potato
  • medium onion, sliced
  • 1 pinch seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S), or to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Place Hatch chiles directly on the grates of a gas stove over medium heat. Cook, flipping with tongs occasionally, until the skins are blackened and charred, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Once charred, transfer the chiles to a sealed plastic bag and allow them to cool for 7 to 8 minutes.

Step 3: After cooling, peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds, and slice the chiles.

Step 4: Slice the russet potato using a mandoline.

Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the potato slices and fry them undisturbed until they begin to brown and soften, about 8 to 12 minutes.

Step 6: Add the sliced onion and Hatch chiles to the skillet. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7: Continue cooking until the onions are translucent and the potatoes are fully softened and browned on the second side, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Cook's Note

Adjust the spice level by adding more Hatch chiles according to your preference.

I live approximately 65 miles away from Hatch, New Mexico, and I can confidently say that these are the most amazing chilies ever. The only adjustment I made to this recipe was including a crushed clove of garlic with the onions while sautéing.
